The Law and Society concentration at Michigan Tech trains you to analyze the legal,
political, and economic aspects of societal issues and use evidence-based arguments
to develop your own positions. You develop analytical communications skills that prepare
you for a wide spectrum of potential careers in public, private, and social sectors.
You'll be ready for jobs in government, business, or non-profit fields—and have a
strong foundation for law school or graduate school. You'll earn a BS in social sciences
with a concentration in law and society.
